Playoff Tie Breaker Rules
If a tie exists at the end of a playoff game, the game will be decided by going immediately into Penalty Kicks. A coin flip will determine choice of kicking first or second during penalty kicks. Each team will pick 5 players to kick alternating shots. At the end of the 5 kicks, the team with the most points wins. If a tie still persists, sudden-death penalty kicks will take place. The same 5 kickers must be used in the same order in overtime PK’s until a winner is decided.
